Chapter 647 (2/2)
Even the Empress Dowager and the queen were shocked. They were very excited to hear that there were such rare vegetables to eat in winter.
Although there are also greenhouses in the palace, the types of dishes that can be planted are very monotonous, just the best living dishes. People in the palace have long been tired of eating. Now when they see this fresh and tender cucumber, they want to wash it and eat it directly.
It is said that at noon, the emperor accompanied his mother and queen to eat a meal of pure green vegetables. Cold cucumber, stir fried leek, scrambled garlic with eggs and shredded cabbage and potato soup.
Although it is very light, it is said that the Empress Dowager ate very happily and said she would give a reward to the Tian family.
In the Imperial City, those big customers who often patronize Xianxiang hall also got a few kilograms of green vegetables and a Ya of fresh watermelon.
It is said that the child of a senior member of the third grade family secretly bit the watermelon because he was greedy. His father found it and almost broke his leg.
This watermelon is rare. Now you can't buy it with gold and silver. Those who got the Tian family's annual gift were all grateful and gave a lot of money to the coachman.
Those who failed to get the Tian family's annual gift gnashed their teeth and decided to visit the Xianxiang hall more in the coming year, so as to get the annual gift sent by the Tian family during the new year. But these are things a year later. Now they have no time to stare.
Wang Da's face flushed with laughter, but he didn't dare to take the money. When he went back, he handed it to Tian Yuqiao.
”Miss, these are the rewards given to the little old man by those people.”
”Uncle Dafa, the reason why I only arranged for you to send annual gifts in the imperial city is to make you familiar with those people. Just take the money. It's all the hard money given to you by our family.” Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.
”Oh, I don't deserve it. I've counted about twenty or thirty liang of silver.” Wang Dafa was a little excited.
He is used to seeing his young lady move hundreds of taels of silver as soon as she moves. Now it's only twenty or thirty Liang silver. He can't bear it.
”Our family never treats its own people badly, as you know. Take all the money and don't be polite to me.”
Wang Dafa excitedly collected the silver and copper coins on the table carefully, and thanked Tian Yuqiao for leaving.
Tian Yuqiao called Xiaoyu over and asked with a smile, ”Uncle Dafa seems not quite right. He usually doesn't love money. Now he seems particularly excited to give him a reward.”
”Hehe, miss, I'm afraid you're the only one who doesn't know?” Xiaoyu smiled strangely.
”Oh? What the hell is it?”
”Uncle Dafa seems to be very interested in a woman who sells fried dough sticks. He doesn't eat in the house every morning and specially spends money to eat at the breakfast stall. That doesn't count. Every time he comes back, he will bring back a lot of fried dough sticks for dinner.”
Tian Yuqiao understood what was going on. It turned out that the old man was going to have a twilight love!
”It's also very good. Uncle Dafa has been lonely for many years. Now he doesn't worry about food and clothing. He has surplus money in his hand. It's normal to plan to marry a daughter-in-law.”
